Mrs. Keppner has been with Palmyra High School as Counselor since 2019 and in honor of National School Counseling week, we asked her to tell us about her job as a school counselor.
Mrs. Keppner loved teaching 5th grade students but found that she did not have enough time in the school day to meet all their needs because they needed more time to talk and process their feelings. She wanted to learn how to be a better listener and help kids identify and acknowledge their feelings, so she then went into school counseling.
Sadly, one of the things Mrs. Keppner has learned from her students is that life is not always fair. Many of the sweetest people on earth have dealt with the hardest losses. She feels in those times, it is important to allow grace and to recognize the hardship. It is also important to practice gratitude for the gifts we are given in life and to celebrate the good stuff!
Mrs. Keppner strives to be positive and wants to help make a difference in the lives of her students.
We are positive you do a great job Mrs. Keppner and appreciate what you do to make Palmyra High School a success! Thank you!

No school today Panthers! Stay safe, rest up and we will see you tomorrow!
Mrs. McBride has been Palmyra Middle School Counselor since 2019 and in honor of National School Counseling week, we asked her about her job as a school counselor.
Mrs. McBride says she was inspired to pursue this career by her own school counselor. The support and encouragement her counselor showed to all students was Mrs. McBride's inspiration to become a school counselor.
Students have taught her to enjoy every accomplishment, big or small! They have also taught her that life isn't always fair but finding the positive things can help make it a little easier.
Mrs. McBride encourages her students to be the best versions of themselves and if she had one superpower, she would instill confidence in every student so they believe they are capable of doing great things and achieving their goals!
We are confident you do a great job Mrs. McBride and appreciate everything you do to make Palmyra Middle School a success! Thank you!
